“If you are looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter, hire Nicole! She stayed at our house for 12 days to look after our dog, and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but Nicole constantly updated us with multiple photographs throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind about our dog's well-being. Our baby was incredibly safe, happy, and content when we returned. Not only did she provide top-tier care for our dog, but she also left our entire home spotless. Nicole is professional, responsible, and a true gem. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Happy to help you care for your dog or dogs. As a dog owner for the past 25 years I know how stressful it is to find affectionate, dependable care for a pet when you need to work or take a trip. I’m comfortable with all breeds up to 80 pounds, and all ages. Happy to take care of any dog from puppies to geriatric dogs. I work remotely with flexibility in my schedule to provide walks or work from your home. I can come in for scheduled visits or work from your home for the visit if necessary. I can offer care in your home. I am happy to walk and clean up after your dog. Happy to provide food, water, affection and playtime.
“Ella was the sweetest & did such a great job watching my pets! I have a little mini dog & a big cat, & I was out of town for a wedding event, so it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She was great about sending me updates without me even having to ask, & she sent me SO many cute pictures and videos of them 🥹 It honestly made being away so much easier! She was super sweet, reliable, & I could tell she genuinely cared about my pets. I would 100% recommend Ella & would absolutely use her again! 🐶🐱💕 Thanks Ella!”
About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.
About: I grew up with an 80-pound rescue mix, and I have been taking care of other people's pets for over ten years, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have cared for a wide variety of breeds, from pit-bulls to cockapoos. I have experience with older dogs who have strict medical needs and puppies who need round-the-clock attention and training, and all ages in between. For three years, I volunteered with New York Therapy Animals. While I have my own dog, she will be staying with my sister during boardings, so I can give your amazing pet my full attention! I work from home full time, so I will be with your pet all day! Walks and playtime will be abundant. I will be happy to adapt to your individual pet's schedule, with whatever they need. You pet will be super safe with me! I work from home in a one bedroom apartment that I keep meticulously clean and tidy. Your pet will have comfy furniture and bedding to sleep on. I communicate and send updates and pictures often so you never have a doubt about how your pet is doing. There are screens on all the windows.
“It was such an absolute pleasure having Shri over. He took incredible care of Gregorie and Fredrex, and we are so grateful for his generosity and tremendous help. Shri was wonderful, he took Gregorie on daily walks, gave the cat her medicine, and stayed with them to keep them company while we were away. We cannot thank you enough, Shri!”
“Noelle was fantastic with Chewie and Solo she was very good at all of the instructions I left and keeping me up to date with any details or questions. I would highly recommend her and will book with her again”

“Carrie stayed at our house to care for our dog and three cats. She was great with providing updates, and when she came for her meet and greet you could tell that she was really comfortable around the animals. I was so glad all the animals got to keep their routines while we were gone, and when I got back they seemed happy and relaxed. It was so much less stressful being gone knowing that someone reliable was taking care of them.”
About: Hi there! My name is Danielle and I'm an actress and court reporting student here in Florida! Growing up, I've always had 6+ dogs at a time and am a huge animal lover. For the past 10 years I've been dogsitting/dogwalking and would love the opportunity to meet and take care of your pup! :) I am pretty flexible for the most part! Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays I have full availability. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays I am available after 7pm for one-off visits. However, I can do overnights any day of the week. I have a fenced yard along with 3 other doggies to keep your dog company. I can be flexible depending on your preferences! Just ask for what you'd like and I'll let you know if I can accommodate :)
“Ceecee was amazing! She was able to accommodate us extremely last minute to home sit our senior dog. She took great care of our dog and was able to keep up with all his medications. Our apartment was in phenomenal condition when we returned. We will not hesitate to book Ceecee again.”
About: I’m an empathetic animal lover with a heart of gold! I truly love all animals as if they were my own. I’ve lived with cats since I was born and dogs since I was about 10. Not only have I cared for my own pets throughout my life but I have watched the pets of my family, friends, and colleagues, too! Whether it be walking dogs, making sure they are fed, watered, and loved, or need medication (I have administered insulin to a cat before!), you can trust your furry loved ones will be in good hands. I’m currently working part time and going to school part time virtually so I don’t have a very strict schedule! I’m open and flexible to options that meet everyone’s needs! I currently cannot offer care in my household, but have faith that I will treat your animals and home with kindness and respect like they were my own.
“We couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter! She was incredibly responsible while house sitting and kept us completely at ease with her excellent communication and daily photo updates. Our dogs absolutely adored her, which is truly the highest compliment we can give. We will without a doubt be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter! Thanks again Kaining!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of experience, specialized skills, and genuine love for animals. I go beyond basic care to ensure that every pet feels safe, happy, and loved in my presence. Here’s how I stand out: 1. Customized Care for Every Pet: I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from their favorite toys to specific feeding routines, creating a comfortable and stress-free experience tailored to their personality. 2. Specialized Skills: • Puppy Training: I have experience teaching basic commands, house training, and socialization, helping puppies develop good habits early on. • Senior Pet Care: I’m skilled in caring for older pets, including administering medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing extra comfort and attention. 3. Health and Safety Expertise: I’m well-versed in recognizing signs of illness or distress and am trained in basic pet first aid, so you can trust your pet’s health is in good hands. 4. Enrichment and Engagement: I prioritize mental and physical stimulation through interactive play, puzzle toys, and exercise tailored to your pet’s energy level and preferences. 5. Reliable and Trustworthy Service: I treat your home with the utmost respect and maintain open communication, providing updates and photos so you can rest assured your pet is thriving. 6. Genuine Passion for Animals: My dedication goes beyond just a job—I see pet care as a way to build a bond and make a positive impact on their lives. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, requires attentiveness, consistency, and adaptability to meet the individual needs of each animal. Here’s a breakdown of how I approach pet care in both settings: Caring for Pets in My Home: 1. Establishing a Routine: • I create a daily schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and rest, ensuring stability and comfort for my pets. • Meal times are consistent, and fresh water is always available. 2. Creating a Safe and Enriching Environment: • I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no access to harmful plants, toxic substances, or dangerous objects. • I provide toys, scratching posts, and cozy sleeping areas tailored to their preferences. 3. Health and Hygiene: • I maintain clean litter boxes or outdoor areas for bathroom needs. • Regular grooming, nail trimming, and dental care are part of the routine. • I stay vigilant for signs of illness and keep up with vaccinations, vet checkups, and preventative care. 4. Bonding and Training: • I dedicate time daily for play, affection, and positive reinforcement training to build trust and strengthen our bond. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being, happiness, and health of the animals I care for. Here’s how it fits into my schedule: in the morning i start off by Feeding: I start the day by preparing fresh meals according to the pet’s specific dietary needs. Hydration: I ensure water bowls or fountains are clean and filled with fresh water. Bathroom Needs: For cats, I scoop litter boxes daily, and for dogs, I schedule morning walks to give them a chance to stretch and relieve themselves. During midday i help them Exercise: I schedule play sessions or walks to keep pets physically active and mentally stimulated. Engagement: This could include interactive toys, training sessions, or just quality time spent bonding with the pet. Cleaning: I tidy up their spaces, such as washing food bowls, refreshing bedding, or cleaning up any messes. In the evening it is Dinner Time: Another feeding session, ensuring pets stick to their routine. Grooming: For long-haired pets or those that shed a lot, I brush their fur. Nail trimming or light cleaning (like wiping paws) happens as needed. And finally Wind-Down: I end the day with calm activities, like cuddling or relaxing together, ensuring they feel secure before bedtime.

Victoria's knowledge and care made my trip a completely peaceful experience as she was at my home to care and love Ralphy in place of me! Supreme Excellence! If there is a Rover Award Victoria deserves HIGHEST HONOR! THANK YOU VICTORIA! ?”
About: #TheCoolDogMom I’ve been taking care of dogs for 5 years. I have one of my own and have a hard time leaving her with someone I trust which compelled me to become a sitter myself. Perks of booking with me: - IN HOME GROOMING. When your pup stays with me if he/she needs grooming please give me a heads up and i will make accommodations. I have an amazing groomer that I’ve stuck with for the last 2 years, she does such a great job that everyone in my building also uses her. I prefer to have the pups groomed at home to lessen the chances of transmission of any sicknesses. - SPECIAL REQUESTS: if you have a busy schedule and can’t take your pet to their annual check up or vaccinations I’m available to pick up, accompany your pet during their visit, and drop off at home for an added fee. - PROOF OF VACCINATIONS: to ensure safety of all pets in my care I require proof of up to date vaccinations (their is canine flu going around and my top priority is to keep your pet healthy and safe so please understand when I ask for proof - SAFETY: I do not take pups to the dog park (the dog park is very unsafe, on top of risking the transmission of disease it’s not a good idea to have dogs whom are not familiar with one another running around. Instead we take walks in low traffic areas and I have an outdoor space connected to my apartment for you pet to relieve them self or run around as they please. **Please be transparent as possible about any unique corky personally traits your dog may have. If your dog barks a lot, tinkle's unexpectedly, eats things off the street etc. that’s totally fine, and I welcome the unique characteristics .. I just need to know so I’m well prepared and know how to make sure your pup will have a smooth stay with me. please provide the following: 1) poo bags 2) snacks 3) food (enough for the duration of stay) 4) wee wee pads (sometime dogs who typically don’t go to the bathroom in the house will, simply because of the change of environment) 5) a clean small blanket or bed for your pup to relax in/on 6) toys (if your dog likes toys - not mandatory) If you have any question feel free to ask I have open availability pet sitting and walking is my full time job. I also drive so I can pick up and drop off your pup if need be. I have a fenced in backyard and duplex with tons of room for your fur baby to Run around and have a good time while in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 18,372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Hancock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Hancock walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Hancock maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Hancock choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
